Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei created a controversy among Muslims when he issued a fatwa (a religious edict) last Tuesday claiming ultimate spiritual authority on Earth.

He demanded that all Islam should “obey him” as the “representative of the Prophet Muhammad and [Shi’ism’s] 12th Imam on Earth.”

Among the Shi’ite faction of Islam the Ayatollah’s claims are not considered all that strange. The Shia Grand Ayatollah has always been considered a representative of  ‘the 12th Imam’ who was the Shi’ite successor to Muhammad.

However, among the Sunni and other Muslims the claims of the Ayatollah are considered laughable and not to be taken serious at all.

Response: Just a couple of weeks ago Khamenei claimed to have spoken personally with the ‘hidden12th Imam’ and was told that the end would be coming under his rule. Now he is asserting this ultimate claim of authority.

The Ayatollah also told all Muslims this last week that every last one of them should be fighting against America and Britain. He is also claiming that a major war will begin soon that will see the defeat of America and Israel with Iran leading the way.

Meanwhile, Iran is developing  nuclear weapons along with a new missile delivery system that can reach as far as Eastern Europe.

The Ayatollah Khamenei otherwise would be considered nothing more than a crazy old man but as ‘supreme leader’ with dictatorial powers he is a very dangerous crazy old man who could actually start a world war based upon his own crazy apocalyptic visions.

Christians really should be praying in response. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Israel, and America. Also that the plans of the Ayatollah Khamenei will be frustrated and remain unfulfilled.        *Top of the Blog
